Northeastern Part Of the Tcrrifory-
Notes From Our Mines.

existence about $50 miles east of Helena.
It is called the Crystal Mountain District,
and is composed principally Of silver-bear-
ing ore. From parties whe have just re.
turned from that locality, it is learned that
tho ore So far discovered 10 exceedingly
rich, nnd that the discoverers OF the metal
have located everything in the countr,
worth locating. A few persons in Butte are
interested in some Of the properties there,
but owing to the lateness of the season will
postpone work on them till spring.

pletion OF the ore chutes now ander course
OF construction. The chutes. when fin-
ished, will be as large "a those of the Ana
conda and st. Lawrence mines.
No work of consequence has been done
on the !, 1,OOO.foot level of the Anaconda.
Since that level was reached work has been
confined principally in drifting. though the
ore body on the l 600 is as extensive as
any other place in the mine.

second and third levels. The ore is teing
reduced at the Silver Bow mill. leao

bounced to taka place last night in thei,
new quarters, over Clark & Larabie's

be an excellent meeting place. it having been
fitted ", in good style. The floor is cover
ed with q handsome pattern of oilcloth.
and thirty chairs occupy proper places
around the room. A new coal stove sets
to one side of the apartment, the heat
from which is sufficient to permeate the en-
tire room in a few minutes. The Secre-
tary g desk occupies the side opposite the
stove, and four-lamp chandelier hangs
from the centre OF the ceiling. It is a very
comfortable place to meet.

RAIL1OAD ancRrCY.

That railroad eompanies should seal th,
months Of their employees In regard to any
accident on their road has always besn q
mystery to those who have been made
painfully aware of this pecoliarity by expe
rlence. The utmost coDcealment and se
crecy IL observed by them. as . rule, and
the slightest Information is rigidly withheld
BY the company on whose road the aeci
dent occurs. This ostrich-like policy has
often been productive OF great in.
convenience. and how it has benefited
the railroad companies fails to sp-
pear on the surface. Granted that
damage suits or heavy liquidation OF dam.
ages are an inevitable outcome of railway
accidents, is the liability of road lessened
by refusing to let the public know the real
facts? As q rule the newspapers obtain
nearly all the particulars necessary. so that
the public are not in general losers by the
policy of secretiveness universal among
railroad officials. Bat the worst instance
of clam-like closeness in this line was de-
veloped in the collision at Kouts' on
Tuesday when a reporter for an even
ing paper called at the company's
general Offices in Chicago for information
about the disaster. and received from the
chief clerk the startling reply that 1.-THE &C.
cident was none Of the newspapers bust.
n ess and none Of the publics business!"
If this piece of unparalleled effrontery
does not cap the climax OF impertinence
and throw Boss Tweed's famous query,
What are you going to do about it?" into
the shade. previously conceived ideas OF
gall will have to be revised. Popular
notions OF the duties OF railroads as COM
mon carriers will receive a rude
shock. The impression that railroads were
made for the public will have to be re-
versed. and the theory accepted that the
public are the ra lroads' servants bound to
accept thankfully the crumbs thrown to
them. strong feeling OF indignation is re-
ported to have been generally felt in Chi
ago at the ''intense secretiveness'' of the
chicago & Atlantic employees regarding the
'ccident. and the above sample OF cool ef-
fontery of the Chief Clerk of the road en-
irely justifies and explains it.

During the session of the City Council
Wednesday evening, Mr.. Haldorn on be.
hall OF the citizens Of the West End, asked
the Council to clothe C. C. Rose with the
